Death Of a Young Man.-we are

| DCdtu Vi OuuS mdu.-W6 are
deeply panied in being called upon to an
neunce the death of Mr.. Darlington S.
Nelson, which occurred at the residence OF
his mother, Mrs. M. A. G. Nelson, near
Rockville, on Monday evening last, in the
Saith year of his age.
Mr.. Nelson was born and reared in the
county. He was educated at the Rockville
Academy. After his academical term he
entered the law office of Messrs. Peter &
Henderson, and at the conclusion of the
usual course pursued by students was ad-
mitted to the Bar. For several years Mr..
Nelson practiced his profession with marked
success in the Courts of the District of
Columbia, The extreme isolation of his
mother was the cause Of his returning to
the old homestead, where he divided his
attention between farming and the prosecu-
ton of claims before the several Depart
ments at Washington.
Mr. Nielsen was d young man OF much
sprightliness of intellect, culture and de-
cided originality of thought. He was firm
in his views upon all questions of public
concern and in which he always manifested
great interest He was slow and prudent
in the formation of his friendships, but when
made they were lasting Courteous in his
bearing, honest in his convictions, he ever
commanded the respect of those who formed
his acquaintance.
His death at such an interesting period of
life has cast a profound gloom over the
community where he was go well known
and brought the sorest grief to devoted
mother and large circle of relatives.

India as a wheat Producer.-Th,

India as a Wheat Producer.-The
report of Consul General Bonham, at Cal
cutta, TO the State Department, says that an
area OF 27,500000 acres is devoted to pro
duction OF wheat, and that the total yield
during the year ended March 81, 1856, was
289,000, 900 bushels. As compared with the
wheat of the Pacific coast the Indian wheat
is inferior, but when exported to Europe is
mixed and ground with wheat of a superior
quality, by which process fair marketable
grade of flour is obtained. The method of
cultivating the soil is in the main the same
as it was centuries ago, and there seems to
be great difficulty in inducing the farmer to
invest in modern agricultural implements,
and yet, with all the simple and primitive
methods, the Indian farmers can, in the
opinion of the consul General, successfully
compete with those of he United States in
the production of wheat. This is due TO the
Act that the Indian farmers outfit repre-
cents a capital OF not more than $40 or $50,
and his hired help works, feeds and clothes
himself on about $3.50 q month. A table
is annexed, showing. that the. export OF
wheat from British India has increased
from 100000 cwt. in 1868, 10 100000 cwt.
1886, and that the increase of 1886 over 1885
amounts to about 100000 cwt The con-
sul-general says that some Of his predeces.
sors have claimed that the United States has
nothing to fear from India as a competitor
in the production Of wheat. In this view
he does not concur, and believes that to-day
India is second only to the United States in
wheat.growing. furthermore, wheat grow.
ing in India is yet IN its infancy, and its
further development depends principally
upon the means Of transportation to the
seaboard. He fears that with the cheap
native labor of India, and the constantly
growing facilities for transportation, the
United States will find her a formidable
competitor as producer Of the staff of life

PowDERLY has taken a firm stand
againt the importation of pauper labor
from Europe, and he is educating the
coal. miners of Pennsylvania in some Of
the b bed.rock principles of true protec.
tion to American labor. He shows them
that the Republican high tariff on i'm.
ports to shut out the manufactures of
European cheap labor, and the importa.
tion of that same cheap labor to compete
with American labor, is a delusion and
a snare. 1t grinds the American wage.
Garner in double sense-by compelling
him to pay the highest price for the pro-
tected articles which he consumes, and
forcing his earnings down to the Euro
psan standard by bringing cheap labor
here to compete with him. Truly, the
intelligent American worker is getting a
flood of light on the true nature of the
Repu blican protective tariff.

THE "True American" party has
adopted its platform. the main features
of which appeared in yesterdays HER
AID. 1t was not all plain sailing in the
Executive Committee when the platform
was discussed. A strong plank against
the Catholic Church was with difficulty
struck out, and resolution in favor Of
Prohibition met the same fate. 1t does
not seem that the extirpation of these
planks was really in consonance with
the views of the new party, but were
left out as stroke of policy; for Frank
Pixley, in explanation of the action Of
the Co mmittee, made the following open
co nfession:
MIR. PiAiey-'I blush to be compelled
to make the admission that there are
cases in which we must exerc Use Ger
tain measure of policy, and this l regard
as one of them. While indorsing every
word my friend from Sonoma has said, l
feel that it is yet too early in the play
to show our hands. We must dissemble
till the most fitting time arrives and
then strike"
This then, would seem the policy Ct
the new party-to only announce SO
m uch of its principles as it thinks the
ublic will swallow, but to hold some of
its most important tenets in reserve un.
til the time for assembling has passed,
and then to strike. Not O very frank
sort of way to deal with the great
